    8 Shocking Takeaways From Landmark Censorship Case

    [​IMG]

    From the oral arguments, it sounds like a majority of the Court may have bought into Bribed Joe's mad assertion of the right to censor pushback from the American People.

    Government Election Fixing In The Run Up To The 2020 Election

    'Evidence in the case revealed that in the run-up to the 2020 election, and increasingly thereafter, a raft of federal agencies both directly and via cutouts cajoled, coerced, and colluded with social media companies to censor wrongthinking Americans at a magnitude of millions of posts on matters ranging from the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story to the integrity of mass mail-in balloting and the efficacy of Covid vaccines.'

    No honest, informed person can disagree with that.

    'The Louisiana district court that originally heard the case found, and a 5th Circuit Court of Appeals panel affirmed, that these efforts — emanating from entities such as the Biden White House, FBI, and CDC to control the digital public square, interfering in our elections and skewing public policy debates — likely constituted a massive assault on the First Amendment.'

    The most massive of our lifetimes that we are aware of, though we would not be as fully aware of this, if Elon Musk hadn't bought Twitter and released the receipts.

    The Courts Issued an Order To the Bribed Biden WH, and all successive WH's.

    'It prohibited the Biden White House and implicated agencies from taking any actions: “formal or informal, directly or indirectly, to coerce or significantly encourage social-media companies to remove, delete, suppress, or reduce, including through altering their algorithms, posted social-media content containing protected free speech.”'

    They should have respected our Free Rights and Free Americans to Freely Speak, enough that such an order from the Court shouldn't have been necessary.

    A few things became clear.

    The Federal Government was deeply offended that their policing of speech was even being examined.

    'The Feds Want SCOTUS to Bless Their Speech Policing During the Election.'

    'The censorship-industrial complex wants to be fully operative in 2024 and in perpetuity, with the Supreme Court legitimizing it.'

    Read the whole thing and discuss.

    THAT’S WHY SO MUCH OF THE LEFT HATES IT: “The whole point of the First Amendment is to give ordinary citizens the power and the tools to decide for themselves what information to listen to and what ideas to find persuasive.”

    "That’s the foundational principle of the First Amendment and a foundational principle of any democracy—that the power to decide what information to access and listen to and how much weight to give it are left to the ordinary citizen and not to the government."

    There is a lot on the line with this case, and it didn't seem to go well for the advocates of Free Speech.

    What lies? Do you mean lies about the laptop and China virus? Or do you mean the lies about the pee tape, Russian mafia, German banks, didn’t pay taxes, Putin’s puppet, etc?

    My biggest problem is the government deciding what is information and what is misinformation and where does it all stop? And, when it comes to science, even leftists admit that science proves science wrong at some point, not to mention that no matter what you're talking about, there are scientists on both sides of the arguments.

    So, what if the consensus of science says that the Earth is the center of the universe and everything revolves around us, and the Earth is flat so, if you sail too far, you will fall off the edge? If anyone dares question that the government labels it as misinformation and quashed, therefore, the truth would never be known because it would always be called misinformation and censored by the government. We don't need the government telling us what is information and what is misinformation, whether it be science, politics, or something else. Democrats have for years questioned election results but the government seems to think that is fine but if Trump or the Republicans do it, it is labeled lies and misinformation.

    "Twitter granted requests from both the Trump White House and the Biden campaign to remove content in 2020, report says"

    https://www.businessinsider.com/twi...-trump-white-house-biden-remove-posts-2022-12

    "For instance, in 2020, requests from both the Trump White House and the Biden campaign were received and honored," he said, adding that "celebrities and unknowns alike could be removed or reviewed at the behest of a political party.""

    If we weren't really right about them, they wouldn't have to try to censor us.

    Trying to control what information the public sees is what they do in fascist dictatorships.

    Be proud Democrats because you are the people supporting it.

    As at least one justice has pointed out, your side is trying to limit the 1st Amendment rights of those in the administration. They have those rights as well, and your position would mean that the WH press secretary couldn't even talk to the press to give their talking points.

    What I find sad and I'm sure the framers of the Constitution would agree if they were here is there is a battle to use the constitution to support the ability to lie and deceive.

    The absurd hypothetical put forth by Katanji Brown is consistent with her absurd answer to the Senate during confirmation. She believes she is unqualified to describe a woman because she is not a biologist, and she believes the government is entitled to promote falsehoods in the public square, and that the First Amendment does not mean what it says.

    The federal government is being run by traitors and toxic leadership.

    It doesn't stop. We just saw what government will do with unchecked power, they closed the churches and sent cops to the beach to arrest surfers that were a 100 yards from anyone, until the arresting officers got to them.

    We saw them insist Trump not how rallies while they cheered the Antifa/BLM riots.

    'There is no exception, as the government acknowledges, for violating the First Amendment because government declares a crisis or emergency. The slippery slope is obvious. So too is the idea that government will use myriad pretexts going forward to censor us if they evade justice in Murthy.'

    If declaring an 'emergency' means that Bribed Joe and his ilk can violate our rights, we'll simply go from one emergency to the next.

    'the fact that government got so much wrong, particularly with respect to the Chinese coronavirus pandemic. Its tyrannical approach to dissenting views was anti-scientific and arguably did great damage to public health while at the same time eroding liberty and justice.'

    Justice Jackson Revealed Her Radical Anti-Speech Position

    'Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is even more radical than the government in her view of the First Amendment.'

    'By her logic one would think it is written in the Constitution that the state has an inalienable right to censor the citizen when it deems that circumstances merit it — as well as that the state is omniscient.'

    Hopefully the decision is better than the arguments suggested.

    KB understands neither America, nor Americans.

    And Bribed Joe and his Administration are even worse.

    'Don't offend the regime, or they will come for a "chat."'

    'Apparently, according to the FBI agents (multiple agents showed up for the visit) who came to interrogate Rolla Abdeljawad, teams of FBI agents spend "all day, every day" visiting people to discuss their social media posts.'

    America, have we had enough of these clowns?

    The Fourth Reich became established in America during Dubya and Dick's reign, maybe before. It is more firmly entrenched today than it was 20 years ago.

    So you don't like it when the left use agencies to squelch the truth? or are you saying that as long as you can choose what the truth is, the constitution shouldn't be there to protect those who disagree with you?

    Democrats seem to have "lifted" the old GRU process from the old Soviet. And if you don't like it? Off to the gulag with you.

    Totalitarians generally adopt the same approach, and it's out of fear of the people. In our constitutional system, when operating correctly, our representatives have no reason to fear us, because they are acting justly toward us.

    MAGA completely removed from their memory that Trump was POTUS in 2020. That is why they keep saying Biden administration , Biden WH when they talk about 2020.
